I know this probably sounds like right-on-PC-behaviour, but watching blind judo was more entertaining than the Olympic Judo. Essentially because in the latter the athletes can see the attempts at trips and throws coming so it's 90% dodging and avoiding and looking for an opening, which is a bit boring after a while. Blind judo is more action-packed.

Damn...was watching with the children and explaining that all the swimmers could whup our arses in the pool, and explaining about the different disabilities and the ranking...when a comedy dwarf burst out of a door and practically ran across the pool side, provoking much hilarity and a discussion on how ace a dwarf-only Olympics would be. The wife wasn't impressed

We were watching the mens 50m something something swimming, as there was a local lad in in, just 15 I think. He was half the size of most of the blokes in it, I can't see how it was fair. He has to swim twice the distance!
